Amasia Could Be Earth's Next Supercontinent

Scientists predict that Earth's next supercontinent will combine Asia with the Americas, and they've named this landmass Amasia. Theoretically, in hundreds of millions of years, Amasia would lay across the Northern Hemisphere after Asia collided with the Americas. This would occur after Earth lost the Arctic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea due to the movement of tectonic plates. Earth has already been home to at least three other supercontinents at different points in time: Pangaea, Rodinia, and Nuna. Learn more about supercontinents with the videos below.
